Crafted from soft brushed fleece, it provides reliable warmth for cooler days, making it an ideal layering piece for post-surf relaxation or everyday street wear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the material breathable?
Yes, while the brushed fleece is designed for warmth, the cotton-blend nature of the fabric allows for moderate breathability during everyday activity.
Does the hoodie shrink in the wash?
Like most cotton-blend fleeces, it can shrink if exposed to high heat. Always wash in cold water and air dry.
Is the logo printed or embroidered?
The Rip Curl logo on the chest is embroidered, ensuring greater durability compared to standard screen-printed designs.
Can I fit a large smartphone in the kangaroo pocket?
Yes, the kangaroo pocket is deep and spacious, easily accommodating most modern large-format smartphones.
What is the best way to keep the fleece soft?
Avoid using fabric softeners that leave waxy residues and air dry the hoodie to maintain the fluffy texture of the brushed interior.
Troubleshooting
Fabric pilling after multiple washes
Wash inside out and avoid mixing with abrasive fabrics like denim or items with zippers.
Hood drawstrings lost in wash
Tie the ends of the drawstrings in a loose knot before putting the hoodie in the washing machine.
Embroidery threads fraying
Trim loose threads carefully with small scissors and avoid using stiff bristle brushes on the logo area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this hoodie is crafted from fleece, proper care is essential to maintain its texture. Wash the garment inside out in cold water to protect the embroidered logo and minimize fabric pilling. Use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or bleach. For drying, air drying in the shade is recommended; avoid high heat in a tumble dryer, as this can cause the fleece to mat and the garment to shrink. The hoodie is highly compatible with other casual surf wear, such as denim jeans or cargo shorts, and layers easily under light windbreakers or jackets.
